We recommend always using a shared runtime unless you have a specific need for another runtime, because a shared runtime allows for the sharing of data between functions and the task pane.

manifest.xml in the project that the Yeoman generator for Office Add-ins creates) does several things. The XML manifest file for an add-in that defines custom functions (. For more information about what comments are required for your custom function, see Autogenerate JSON metadata for custom functions. Next, two parameters are declared, first and second, followed by their description properties.

The required comment is declared first, to indicate that this is a custom function.

The code comments are used to generate a JSON metadata file that describes the custom function to Excel. The following code defines the custom function add. src/functions/functions.ts) contains the code that defines custom functions and comments which define the function. It also lists the locations of task pane files, command files, and specifies which runtime your custom functions should use. Specifies the location of multiple files that your custom function use, such as the custom functions JavaScript, JSON, and HTML files.

We'll concentrate on the files that are important to custom functions. If you use the Yeoman generator for Office Add-ins to create an Excel custom functions add-in project, it creates files which control your functions and task pane. To learn more, see Configure your Office Add-in to use a shared runtime.
